Winter Fun
IN GRANT COUNTY
WINTERTIME ACTIVITIES CAN BE ENJOYED BY ALL
What is there to do outside in Grant County during the winter months? Plenty! The variety of terrain and scenery make Grant County a premiere destination in all seasons,
including the cold one. There are over 860 miles of groomed snowmobile trails, no shortage of cross-country trails for snowshoeing or skiing and hill after large hill for sledders.
There is even a small rope tow for downhill skiing.
Check out these locations for winter adventures:
HUDDLESTON SNOW PARK*
DIXIE ROPE TOW AND SNOWPLAY AREA*
The hub of the hundreds of miles of groomed snowmobile trails with access to ungroomed
areas, this Oregon State Sno-Park has a warming hut with fireplace and restroom, and a large
parking lot with plenty of room to park rigs with trailers. Take County Road 62 east of Prairie
City for 22 miles.
The tow operation is available for snowy fun for all - strap on the downhill skis, snowboards
or snowshoes. Also found here are cross-country ski trails and groomed snowmobile routes, and
a warming cabin. Follow Highway 26 east from Prairie City for 9 miles.

nities for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and sledding. A small warming cabin built during
the Civilian Conservation Corps era has a large stone fireplace, and there are outhouse facilities.
